#"Flash hour" theme essay issue 2 #
Half a Comedy is a film produced by Happy Twist and released in December 2019.
Initially, the film was opened purely out of curiosity about the film's name.
After reading it, I understood why it was called "Half a Comedy": the first half made you laugh, and the second half made you scratch your heart.
How it is like a person's life, from a carefree childhood to a middle age of chicken feathers, to a lonely old age.
"Half a Comedy" tells about love, and also lets us understand the bitterness and helplessness in life.
I think first love is a beautiful and romantic word in the dictionary of most people, and it often begins at an age of ignorance. The first time I held hands with the opposite sex, the first hug, the first kiss, all made people fawn bump and blush.
"Half a Comedy" also tells a story of first love, the first love of Zheng Duoduo, the second generation of Beijing's rich.
But this first love almost ruined all my beautiful imaginations of love.
Zheng Duoduo and Gao Lu's marriage is approaching, he not only took other women home for the night, but also invited momo, the first love of middle school, to his home the next day, and successfully tricked the other party into bed.
Momo thought that Zheng Duoduo had been fond of himself for so many years and was deeply moved, but later learned that he was just an emotional liar.
Afterwards, Momo cried in the room and tore his lungs, slapped himself, and scolded himself for being stupid; but Zheng Duoduo ate happily in the restaurant downstairs.
In Zheng Duoduo's view, a person who likes to possess her body must be possessed, and only in this way can he feel that he has succeeded and won. He never puts himself in the shoes of another person, and what he calls love is lust and selfishness.
On the wedding day, Gao Lu came to Momo to inquire about the truth of the matter, and Zheng Duoduo actually took a bite back, saying that Momo had been stalking him, that he did not like her at all, and made a poison oath.
Zheng Duoduo, a rich second generation who is rich and powerful with his father, a prodigal prince who ignores morality, is not worthy of love and marriage at all.
There are three types of people in Half a Comedy:
Zheng Duoduo: The rich second generation who eat and drink without worry, everything comes from their own nature, and they are on the edge of morality.
Momo: A local girl in Beijing, dare to love and dare to hate, can't rub sand in her eyes, dare to say no, and be the truest self.
Sun Tong: Foreigners who have come to Beijing from a small place are good in nature, but they have almost lost themselves for practical interests.
Among the three kinds of people, the most annoying is Zheng Duoduo, the most pleasing is Momo, and the most heart-wrenching and most representative is Sun Tong.
For Momo, I admire her courage and courage from the bottom of my heart, she dares to challenge the real society, dares to challenge the unspoken rules of the workplace. Faced with unreasonable demands, she dared to say no, even if the other party was her leader, the president of the bank.
But look around us, how many people have become Momo?
Sun Tong is the majority of people in reality, one has no money, no background, wants to get ahead in Beijing, and lacks backbone and confidence, and sometimes wants to take shortcuts through others.
For Sun Tong, Zheng Duoduo is his shortcut. As long as you maintain a good buddy friendship with Zheng Duoduo, work and Beijing hukou can be easily solved.
Therefore, Sun Tong did not tell Momo directly at the first time that the fact that Zheng Duoduo was about to get married indirectly led to Momo being deceived; similarly, Sun Tong did not tell Gao Lu the truth about Zheng Duoduo's fooling around outside, because he did not dare to gamble with his future.
I think that at this time, Sun Tong was like Momo said, "You are a dog raised by Zheng Duoduo."
If people want to gain, they must lose something, and what Sun Tong has lost is the dignity of being a human being and the minimum moral bottom line.
Money, fame, and status do have great temptations for a person, but if we lose our original selves in pursuit of fame and profit, and do things behind our original intentions, it is difficult to be happy.
In fact, growth is a process, everyone may be lost in a certain stage of life, lost is lucky.
Sun Tong was lost, struggled, and finally found himself like a dream.
On the wedding day, Sun Tong exposed Zheng Duoduo's behavior to Gao Lu and reconciled with Momo.
At that moment, Sun Tong was an upright man, a man who was free and free, did not rely on people's sniffles, and did not blindly obey his mother's orders.
There is also a character in "Half a Comedy" that must be mentioned - Sun Tong's mother, who does not play much, but is a key figure to promote the development of the plot.
To tell the truth, I look down on this kind of person in my heart, but I can't help but feel sorry for her.
Knowing that Zheng Duoduo looked down on her son, she still smiled and curried Zheng Duoduo, hoping to rely on Zheng Duoduo to implement the work and Beijing hukou for Sun Tong; in order to pay the down payment for her son's house in Beijing, she did not hesitate to sell the house in her hometown.
This is Sun Tongma, a Chinese-style mother who has been circling around her son for most of her life. In her world, the son is the most important, as long as the son is doing well, how much sacrifice and concession he makes, she is willing.
But she didn't know that there was a difference between what she thought was good and what her son thought was good.
Sun Tong's mother felt that to live well was to have a stable job in Beijing, mortgage a house, and then marry a local Beijing girl as a daughter-in-law.
Therefore, in order to realize this vision, she forced Sun Tong to re-study for three years, just to be admitted to a university in Beijing; she pretended to faint and forced Sun Tong and Momo to break up.
Under her planning and control, Sun Tong was getting closer and closer to the goal, but he was not happy at all. He was a man of few promises, a mouthful of words, like a walking corpse with an empty skin bag.
Sun Tong's mother's favorite two sentences are "I am for your own good" and "I am your mother", which is tantamount to family kidnapping for Sun Tong.
I think that the greatness of maternal love does not require the child to blindly follow the route he has set, but to give him the right and freedom to choose independently after he grows up, and to give him appropriate guidance and help from the side.
I am a book shadow, like a little attention, welcome to comment and forward, plagiarism must be investigated.
